[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 352713, member: 25183"] Patience is not my virtue (not in this regard anyway) but I wish it was. It seems like you are serious about photography so if I were you I'd wait and look into getting a D7*** body as Steve suggested. I have the D3200 and like it a lot but I know it won't be long until I want more from my camera, such as better low light performance. I have the Tamron 70-300mm and it's a good lens, not much between it (if anything) and the more expensive Nikon. I believe both are better than the 55-300 but I've not used one myself. You're right about the 55-200mm, I had mine for a very short time before upgrading. If it'd been the VR version I met have kept it for longer. I'm looking at getting some extension tubes as a longer macro lens is currently out of my budget and not a priority. Would be interested to see some of your results with them. Good luck in making your choice. My vote would be D7100 first, followed by a dedicated Macro or 70-300 depending on what suits your needs more. [/QUOTE]
